11/10/2024 – Day 140 – 2 Corinthians – Chapters 9 & 10 / 10: 3 – 5 – “… the importance of depending upon divine resources rather than human methods and strategies…”
“For although we are walking in the flesh, we do not wage ware in a fleshly way, since the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly , but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds.. We demolish arguments and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, talking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10: 3 – 5)
Commentary for these verses from my Apologetics Study Bible:
10: 3 – 5. “In keeping with his personal strategy in engaging in discussion with Jews in synagogues and Athenians on the Areopagus (Mars Hill), Paul here advocated the importance of depending upon divine resources rather than human methods and strategies. When we use theological and philosophical reasoning in presenting or defending the gospel, we are to do so graciously, humbly, and prayerfully (1 Peter 3: 15).
Soli Deo Gloria!
